THE MEXICAN ACCENT IN ENGLISH

START TODAY

Because of its proximity to the United States, Mexico has always been linked to the knowledge of the English language. When English is combined with Spanish, a hybrid dialect called ‘Spanglish’ is formed, which can be complicated for those who want to learn it. So if you want to travel to Mexico or the southern United States and understand its accent without problems, you should take into account the distinctive features in its pronunciation.

To achieve understanding of Mexican English, ABA English courses are the best option, as you will learn English by listening to conversations in all its variants, through short films, which will help you learn naturally.

MEXICAN ACCENT IN ENGLISH

Due to Mexico’s proximity to the United States, the languages spoken in both countries influence the accent of the border area. Even the combination of both languages gives rise to local pronunciations and a dialect called ‘Spanglish’ which is not used officially but colloquially. To learn English quickly, for example if you plan to travel to the United States states bordering Mexico, it will be necessary to take into account this morphosyntactic and semantic fusion of Spanish with American English to achieve better understanding.

HOW IS THE MEXICAN ACCENT IN ENGLISH PRONOUNCED?

The pronunciation of certain sounds is key to achieving better understanding of the accent: in Spanish there are five vowel sounds (a, e, i, o, u), which will be markedly present in the words. Another feature of Mexican English is the pronunciation of the ‘r’, which is pronounced more intensely than in English.

The sound of the ‘t’ in Mexican English also is pronounced the same way anywhere in the word, with a pronunciation different from English.
